Good morning! As you read this I am on my way to O’Hare to catch a flight to my parent’s house. Though I didn’t grow up outside Philly where they live now, I do enjoy the time that I spend in their new home. I also get to spend lots of time with my youngest brother, Mike, who is staying with them for the summer in between his sophomore and junior year of college. Besides relaxing, J.Crew outlet shopping, and a jewelry party for the neighborhood, I might also get a chance to visit the family boat which is currently on the Chesapeake Bay.
And as you know, on Sunday I will be headed to NYC for a “PR tour,” if you will. In honor of the desk sides I will be doing with editors at Lucky and Real Simple among others, I’ve got an awesome giveaway which would be perfect for a PR tour of your own…
Shabby Apple Giveaway
The Ingrid Dress over at Shabby Apple is pretty much perfection when I think about what I’d like to wear to a desk side. It’s classic with the black and white, but the ruffles add a nice twist. It’s also cool enough to wear while running in between offices in the middle of July. And coming in at $94, it is inexpensive enough for a splurge, but also an amazing item to win in a giveaway like this.
To enter to win the dress, please comment about your favorite dress on Shabby Apple before July 21st. A winner will be randomly selected and announced next week. US residents only, please.
(Please be patient with the comment uploading today, I will be traveling without internet for most of the day. So most new comments will appear this evening.)

I love the Bette D. design from the 1943 collection. Very cute
But it was tough… the aprons found in the Boysenberry collection were equally adorable!!!

I would have to agree with you. I love the Ingrid dress. So sophisticated and lovely.

Wow—I really do love them all, but if I had to spend my money on one Right Now, I’d choose the L’Opera dress! It’s so bold and feminine!

By far my absolute favorite dress, and most likely my soon to be purchase of the day, would be the navy blue Bethesda Fountain dress. Its simple, elegant, flirty and yet sophisticated. And paired with some killer shoes like their Georgi heels, this would quickly become an outfit i’d wear anywear; and probably everywhere!

I love the CEO dress from the skyscraper collection. It’s very Mad Men-ish and would be perfect for work!

I like Liz and Darcy.

I love the Navy Blue Carnival Dress. I love it an awful lot!

The Liz and Darcy Dress in Pale Aquamarine is my favorite!
It’s a classic A-line cut with a beautiful swingy skirt. Ohhh, and it nips you in at the smallest part of your waist…what girl doesn’t like that?! The short sleeves and at the knee length makes it perfect for the office while the flirty skirt and the way it hugs your figure make it fun to dress up for the evening. Plus that Pale Aquamarine color is just so fresh and cheery for summer! Oh my, I can just gush on about it for ages!
